quite frankly, david brooks, the conservative columnist, said it best. i quote what he said about where republicans particularly in the house are trying to lead this nation. david brooks wrote, and i quote the republican party may no longer be a normal party. over the past few years it has been infected by a faction that is more a psychological protest than a practical governing alternative. the members of this movement do not accept the logic of compromise, no matter how sweet the terms. if you ask them to raise taxes by an inch in order to cut government by a foot, they say no. if you ask them to raise taxes by an inch to cut government by a yard, they will still say no. end quote from david brooks, the conservative columnist. we need to have the system work. we need democrats and republicans working together. we need a budget plan that's predictable, that gets our budget under control, that allows america to create the jobs that we need and invest in education, innovation and infrastructure so america can continue to lead the world in economic growth.
